Do not confuse lose and loose. Lose is a verb. If you lose something, you no longer have it and cannot find it. I've lost my wallet. The past participle and past tense of lose are both lost. Loose is usually an adjective. If something is loose, it is not properly fixed or held in place. ...the loose floorboards on the landing. ...a loose tooth.
不要混淆lose和loose。lose为动词,表示丢失, 如:I've lost my wallet(我丢了钱包)。lose的过去式和过去分词均为lost。loose则通常作形容词,表示不牢固或没有固定好,如:the loose floorboards on the landing(楼梯平台上松动的地板),a loose tooth(松动的牙齿)。
